It got its start before 1965 in conjunction with the Italian Navy, even before the independence of the country itself. With Soviet assistance it was officially formed in 1965, the Somali Navy had three bases - Berbera, on the Gulf of Aden and in the Port city of Kismayo in the Indian Ocean. The Soviet-made vessels that were once in the inventory of the Somali Navy were as such - Osa-II fast attack craft (2), Mol PFT torpedo-armed fast attack craft (4), Poluchat-class patrol boat (5) and (1) Polnochny-class landing ship. -------------------------------------------- Because of the Ogaden War, the President of Somalia Siad Barre terminated Friendship and Cooperation with Moscow and expelled all Soviet military advisers. After the war with Ogaden War with Ethiopia and with no longer any support from the Soviets, with that no more naval vessels were acquired by the Somali Navy. During the 1980s when Somalia slowly started to fall into turmoil, the equipment of the Somali Navy started to fall into disrepair and by 1991 no vessels were operational. Some of its patrol boats were destroyed and sunk during the first phase of the Somali civil war. -------------------------------------------- One of the few times when Somalia's naval patrol boats were photographed in harbor, was during Exercise Eastern Wind '83, by the U.S. Marine Corps. The boats that were photographed in 1983 were two Somali Navy Osa-II class fast attack in Berbera, Somalia. -------------------------------------------- Next series ~ "The 🇬🇧 Fleet of an Empire" @ "🇸🇴 The fall of Somalia's Navy" •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Photo caption - A port quarter view of the Soviet-built Libyan project 773KL (NATO code - Polnochny C class) medium landing ship 🇱🇾 Ibn el-Furat", 1988.
